In 2008 I decided I wanted to just stay in for dinner and made a special fondue dinner for Kev. We love fondue, it’s such a fun way to eat a meal. I feel like it leads to such good conversation. I bought a electric fondue pot that year as well.

My present to Kev though was a hand made chess board. I made all the pieces out of clay, fired them and glazed them. I cut the game board out of wood and painted all the squares on it to match the pieces. It was super cute. Kev and I love to play chess together. Our first anniversary was spent laying on a blanket surrounded by hawaiian mountains having a picnic and playing chess.

that’s love, plain and simple 🙂
gorgeous kitchen. your guys’ love is heartwarming.
That’s amazing! Beautiful pieces and idea. Chess seems hard, I’ve always wants to learn but I suck at checkers so probably wouldn’t be any better at chess ; )
Wow Jen, what a cool chess set! My husband and I love playing chess too… we bought a cool set in Jamaica on our honeymoon and played by the pool for hours! Very cool valentines gift 🙂
What an awesome and creative idea! Love it!
Jen, that’s amazing! I’ve been looking for a great chess board for my guy (also a Kev) and can’t find anything worth buying that isn’t uber expensive. I wish I had the resources (and your amazing creativity) to do this too! How cool is that?!?
That is so cool. What a neat idea.
This chess board is amazing! What a great gift!
You guys play chess? I’ve never played but that just seems like a really cool and smart thing to do together 🙂
Jen, I’m astounded by the amazing handmade Valentine’s gifts you’ve been sharing. So personal and creative!
